My sweetling,

We have talked for hours since the day we met. You know all about my grief and still you haven't left. One day we'll let our whole kingdom know that you are mine and here to stay. For now I want you all to myself.

Soon I will introduce you to my son. His heart will be captured by you just like you captured mine.

I clearly remember the day you walked into my kingdom. Or rather the day my guards dragged you in with that company of dwarves. It is a day I will never forget.

Your sparkling eyes, your glowing hair, your youthful glow.

Our years may be far apart but there is no one else I would like as the second mother to my son.

A kind and gentle hand is what he has missed. The stories you tell me about your world fill my heart with glee. I can't imagine what they would do with my son.

The nights we spend talking are so dear to me. You have no idea how it warms my heart to see you nod off when we near midnight.

Every time I wonder if it is too soon to lay you down in my bed. Watch you sleep in peace.

Oh I could watch you all night long my fragile flower.

Soon we'll be there. I will be by your side forever.

My dearly beloved,

Thranduil

P.s. I'm watching you sleep as I'm writing this.
